Scrobipalpa voltinella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Pierre Chrétien in 1898. It is found in Spain, southern France, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Turkey and Ukraine.[1][2]
The wingspan is 11–12 mm.[3] Adults are uniform coffee brown with a lighter forewing margin.[4]
The larvae feed on Rhaponticum coniferum and Tanacetum corymbosum. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a large blotch in the basal leaves. The frass is concentrated in the oldest part of the mine. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[5]
